    That's the extent of the OP.

    The Left will cause Government of the people, by the people, for the people, to perish from the Earth.

    You would gain by diminishing science and elevating superstition, clearly a good thing.

    The framers didn't know how to use prepositions.
    They hated the King so they never learned how to write in the King's English.

    Freedom OF religion has all but destroyed the republic.

    We just need more science to rescue US from our societal ills, I guess.

    Freedom of religion means your religion can be anything including none. Your religion falls under secular laws though.

    Would also help in putting a lid on all those pesky personal freedoms the Founders dreamed up.

    I believe, strongly, that there is a Higher Intelligence in the universe that "guides and takes intrest in our lives". I don't believe in man-made religion of any kind and have always tried follow Groucho Marx's example/advice; "I refuse to join or be part of any group or organization that will accept me as a member".

    Maybe it is time that we face up to what John Adams told us.

    We wouldn't have state legislatures trying to ban birth control if people's religious beliefs weren't catastrophically influential.

    Don't move to those fucking states then if you want to kill babies. I'm sure many states will be in favor of it. Move there.

    So, you'd prefer a Marxist government over a Buddhist theocracy?
